Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet First Look

<p>Last year's 19-foot coupe concept loses its roof</p>In cabriolet form, the Vision 6 is still impossibly long, wide, and low. Only now, the peasants can get a better look at who's driving. Instead of last year's red, it's been painted blue and rides on new 24-inch alloy wheels. Rims that size would look massive on most other cars, but the Vision 6 Cabriolet is so impossibly long, it actually makes 2 feet ofwheel look appropriate. Of course, since this is a Maybach concept we're talking about, the center lock is painted in rose gold. That's not the only gold decorating the exterior, either. The fabric top also has rose gold threads woven in to match.

First Drive: 2018 Mercedes-AMG S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

A sunny California day with four high-dollar two-door GermansLOS ANGELES, California—You might expect a first drive of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe to open with a rosy recollection of motoring down the C te d'Azur through a fragrant waft of lilac blooms. But our defining moment in Benz's &dollar;250,900 bercoupe differed slightly—specifically, getting caught in the left turn lane of a bustling intersection along a particularly ruthless stretch of central L.A. 's Pico Boulevard. The light had just switched to red, leaving a split second to accelerate into a hard left turn before angry cross traffic could make minced meat of the German coupe.

"With the new 53-series models we are extending our portfolio in a first step towards a hybridized future with a leading-edge combination of sporty design, performance and efficiency. The basis for this is a contemporary drive configuration in the form of a six-cylinder in-line engine with electric auxiliary compressor, EQ Boost starter-alternator and 48 V on-board electrical system," said Tobias Moers, Mercedes-AMG head honcho, in a statement.

"The very spontaneous response to accelerator pedal input, the precision and the design focusing on driving dynamics are hallmark features of AMG. As such we are providing an additional lifestyle-oriented customer group with a further attractive offering from Affalterbach."

The EQ Boost starter-alternator combines a starter motor and alternator in an electric motor that is fitted between the six-cylinder in-line engine and transmission. It charges via an electric auxiliary compressor and an exhaust that helps scoot the AMG CLS 53 from 0 to 60 mph in a claimed 4.4 seconds says Mercedes.

2020 Mercedes-Benz S-class Spied: Big Changes Beneath Its Classy Body

2020 Mercedes-Benz S-class Spied: Big Changes Beneath Its Classy BodyWhy It Matters: Each new S-class generation establishes the brand’s newest styling and technological direction for the rest of the lineup, and this one will be no different. Our sources in Stuttgart indicate that the new S-class’s interior will be seriously upgraded—likely incorporating even more technology—although we struggle to imagine how Mercedes could make the environment any more plush. However the automaker reinvents that wheel, expect its look and capabilities to trickle down to lesser Mercedes cars and SUVs.

Mercedes says an exclusive Edition 1 will be available for the AMG CLS53 in a fine copper color with leather upholstery in black Nappa and copper-colored contrasting topstitching throughout the instrument panel, steering wheel, armrests, center console, door panels, and floor mats.
